 Den your posts get more and more ludicrous as each day goes by , how do they have a higher quality threshold considering Sky carry every channel VM do with the exception of Film 4 HD , VM are now nothing more than a corner shop selling other broadcasters channels which is becoming more and more difficult now they've sold all their bargaining chips.

 Yeah, I saw that earlier    James has been very reliable in the past. Hopefully this will be coming quite soon.

I think you can safely assume "James" is a reliable source.
